The Beast returns to Theater Of the Stars
 
 "We are thrilled to bring back the award-winning smash hit Broadway musical, Disney's Beauty and the Beast," states Christopher B. Manos, Producer of Theater of the Stars.  "Produced by NETworks Presentations, this elaborate theatrical production will come to life on stage at the Fabulous Fox Theatre from January 12-16, 2011.  Tickets are on sale NOW at area Ticketmaster outlets, by calling 800-982-2787, online at www.ticketmaster.com and at the Fox Theatre Box Office. Special group rates are available through the Fox Theatre Group Sales Department at 404-881-2000."

Disney's Beauty and the Beast features the animated film's Academy Award�-winning score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, with additional songs with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. The book is written by Linda Woolverton.

 The original creators of the Broadway production are together again for this new touring production! The play is directed by Rob Roth and choreographed by Matt West, with Costume Design by Ann Hould-Ward (Tony Award� winner for her work on Disney's Beauty and the Beast), Lighting Design by Natasha Katz, Scenic Design by Stanley A. Meyer, Sound Design by John Petrafesa Jr. and Music Supervision by Michael Kosarin.

Director Rob Roth: "It has been wonderful to bring the entire original design team back together to work on this new production of Beauty and the Beast. As a director, it is rare to have the opportunity to revisit your work fifteen years later. Hopefully I've grown and developed as an artist, along with my collaborators, and we can bring 15 years of experience to this new production. We have remained very close as a team over the years of producing the show around the world, and it has been so much fun getting together to re-explore and re-invent the show for this new NETworks tour.  The theme of 'Beauty' is about seeing past the exterior into the heart of someone, and this is reflected in the design for the show, which is about transparency and layers, seeing past one thing and into another."

Disney's Beauty and the Beast is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress.  If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast has become an international sensation that has played to over 35 million people worldwide in 21 countries.  For additional information about the show, visit www.BeautyAndTheBeastOnTour.com.

Founded in 1995 by Kenneth Gentry, Seth Wenig and Scott Jackson, NETworks PRESENTATIONS, LLC has produced and managed over 70 national and international touring productions. Previous productions include Oliver!, Little Women starring Maureen McGovern, Jekyll & Hyde, Kiss of the Spiderwoman, Cinderella starring Eartha Kitt and Deborah Gibson, Fosse starring Ben Vereen and Ruthie Henshaw, The Light in the Piazza, My Fair Lady co-produced with Cameron Mackintosh, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma, Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Annie and Hairspray among many others.

BECKY SHAW                                                        Actor's Express

 

PITS OF PRIVACY


Grade:   A+

 

 

(Disclaimer:  This review is based on a preview performance two days prior to the "official" opening of this show.  Respond accordingly.)

 

Take one nasty and damaged 30-something-year-old money manager and pair him up with a fragile and damaged 30-something-year-old office temp without a pair of dimes to spend.  Set them up on a blind date that eventually involves caustic humor, a robbery at gunpoint, bad sex and worse afterglow (afterburn?).  Who do you think will break first?  The answer may surprise you.

 

Gina Gionfriddo's "Becky Shaw" is one of those marvelously unexpected plays that are totally unpredictable, tossing a few deeply realized characters into a situational Cuisinart just to see what comes out.  You know it's a good sign when the intermission feels like an intrusion and the ending comes like an unwelcome guest.

 

Max Garrett (Andrew Benator) and Suzanna Slater (Jill Hames) grew up in the same house.  Suzanna's father adopted Max after the death of Max's mother.  Now, Suzanna's father has died and she has fallen into a pit of grief.  Max, in his bull-in-the-china-shop way, gets her to get on with her life, and, six months later, she is married a (younger) would-be writer, Andrew Porter (Tony Larkin).  In an act of hideous misjudgment, Suzanne and Andrew set up Max on a blind date with Becky Sharp (Veronika Duerr), a co-worker who carries her "damage" like a bow on a birthday present.  What follows is an uncomfortable series of events that brings out the worst in everybody, and makes them dive headlong into that "pit of privacy" that is almost a necessity in keeping day-to-day relationships chugging along with their usual dysfunctional abandon.

 

One of the delights of this play is how facts and memories are gradually revealed in totally organic ways rather than the expected "this is where the exposition goes" trap too many plays fall into.  We're not even sure as to the exact nature of the relationship between Max and Suzanna (Siblings? Spouses? Business Associates?) until a few belated off-hand comments "fill in the blanks").  This is why I hesitate to discuss the specific "damages" the characters carry with them - the playwright WANTS you to be in the position of someone on a "blind date" with them, discovering them as you adamantly keep your own behind the walls of audience anonymity.

 

This whole "pits of privacy" motif is best summed up when a character makes a pointed analogy about revealing too much about yourself, about the necessity of maintaining a skill at the "white lie" in the face of blunt honesty:  "It's like those television commercials where they take a microscope into your kitchen and show you a lot of germs the naked eye can't see."  You know they're there, but you don't want them rubbed in your face.

 

Max is an unpleasant character, a man who wields blunt honesty like a weapon.  Yet, much of what he says is so darkly funny, so outrageous, that you can't help but feel a connection to him.  When he says "You look like a birthday cake" when Becky arrives for their date a bit overdressed, you can actually see the barbs sink into her.  But, Andrew Benator makes Max such a likeable misanthrope, you forgive him literally anything (and, let's face it, he treats Becky Shaw quite shabbily).

 

Veronika Duerr's Becky is also a compendium of neurotic tics and outbursts, but wrapped up in such a charmingly eccentric package that you really root for to find a little steadiness in her life.  Jill Hames brings to Suzanna her usual slate of more-going-on-than-meets-the-ear flair and Mr. Larkin gives Andrew a gentleness that makes him a perfect foil for the verbal volleys that seem to fall of his skin like ineffective gumdrops.  Kathi Welch rounds out the cast as Suzanna's MS-afflicted mother, Susan, who, in a few short scenes, creates a marvelous cut-through-the-bull-hooey character who is not afraid to say what she thinks.

 

And, let's face it, despite their protestations of blunt honesty and say-what-I-want outrageousness, these characters are hiding a boatload of hurt emotions they don't acknowledge even to themselves.  They do and say harsh things, things that make us laugh and wince at the same time, but, in the end, they hurt themselves far more than they hurt each other.

 

With this play and with "After Ashley," Gina Gionfriddo is rapidly becoming one of my favorite contemporary playwrights.  (I wish I knew which episodes of "Law and Order" were written by her).  She has a penchant for taking a topic everyone agrees with ("Media exploitation of tragedy is bad" in "After Ashley" or "Blind dates are a bad idea" in "Becky Sharp") and finds ways to show how they are not so straightforward.  She creates sharp characters and sharper dialogue that always compels even as it surprises.  And she is very good at creating characters who seem, on the surface, unpleasant and nasty, then turning them around so we empathize not only with the histories that lead to the despicable deeds and words, but with those deeds and words themselves.  We end up not only understanding why they make the choices they do, but applauding the very choices we initially thought were so despicable.

 

I know this play will not appeal to all of you, that many of you will not get past the blunt nastiness of Max.  But, I found it a scathingly funny (and brutally honest) view of relationships, a compelling story that kept me rooted to be seat in anticipation, and a brilliantly disturbing character mash-up piled onto a brilliant wrestling-rink of a set (kudos, as usual, to Kat Conley's marvelous design).

 

As an afterthought, it strikes me that the role of the critic can be similar to that of someone setting you up on a blind date, especially with new plays that you may know nothing about.  Yes, I think the two of you will get along fine, but, first, there are some things you may need to know.  Of course, if I chose to tell you WHY you'd get along, I may have to tap into that pit of privacy I keep hidden away even from even those of you who know me best,

PAGEANT                                                    14th Street Playhouse

 

OBJECTS OF CONTEMPT


Grade:   C-

  

The question on the table today is, just what is beauty?  Philosophers and teenagers since the dawn of man have studied that question, and, my research indicates that a satisfactory answer is yet to come.  The old-fashioned beauty pageant used to have its finger on the pulse of beauty - Miss America was held up as "the standard" against which every girl and woman found herself measured.

 

As such, beauty pageants are a fertile ground for a musical.  An adaption of the 1975 movie, "Smile," tried and failed a number of years back.  Now comes "Pageant," a musical by Bill Russell, the writer-lyricist of "Side Show," settling into the 14th Street Playhouse for the next two months.

 

It's a decidedly mixed bag affair - a number of excellent performances, one or two decent numbers, a fair share of laughs and double-entendre jokes, but it's almost sunk by an overall sense of patronizing contempt, and a penchant for creating characters who are little more than negative stereotypes.  And, no attempt is made to get "backstage" or "behind the scenes."  We just see the pageant itself, and, when the winner is chosen, the play is over.  To make matters worse, this is a decidedly "low=rent" pageant, sponsored by the "Glamoresse" make-up company to find a product spokeswoman.

 

To get the main feature out of the way first, the contestants are all men in drag.  One gimmick is that we are not witnessing a "drag" Beauty Pageant, but a traditional one with no pretense that the contestants are anything but women (a few "something extra" jokes notwithstanding).  Another gimmick is that selected audience members are the actual judges, so the "winner" of the pageant will necessarily change from performance to performance.

 

As a comment on standards of beauty, the concept has potential.  But, unfortunately, the characters are written with such dislike, that any commentary is lost in the crude phallic symbol jokes and caricature-thin hairdos.  Mr.  Russell states in a program note that the reason women shouldn't play these roles is because the play would then be "exploiting [them] in the way that we're making fun of." 

 

Well, no!  Just because you have a man playing the role, doesn't mean you're not exploiting HIM in the same way.  I suppose that's okay, though.  What's really exploitative is the disdain the writers have for these women, all of whom are dim-witted stereotypes - Miss Texas is a gun-totin' roustabout, Miss Deep South is a genteel antebellum magnolia, Miss West Coast (named "Karma," for heaven's sake) is a dumb-blonde valley girl, Miss Bible Belt is a black Hallelujah-whore, Miss Great Plains is an awkward hayseed, and Miss Industrial Northeast is cartoon-accented Hispanic.  Even the oily emcee is little more than a smarmy lounge lizard.  Would it have been so difficult to make ANY of these characters play something other than a stereotype, something other than a pageant-hater's notion of what a beauty contestant is really like?  Would it have been so difficult to make some of them actually smart or talented?

 

Compare this with Mr. Russell's script for "Side Show," which is filled with affection for the freaks and geeks in the story.  I mean, let's be honest here - if the writer has such little regard for his characters, why on earth should we?  If all the contestants are so blissfully unaware of their own "bad talents," why should we even want to watch them?  Yes, the first badly done bit is funny, the second maybe even more so.  But by the fifth and sixth, I just wanted them to stop.

 

Okay, now that I'm through with my rant, let's talk about some of the things I did like.  First and foremost is the cast.  These men bring a sense of commitment to their characters that goes beyond the normal "man-in-drag" preening.  Greg Bosworth's Miss Deep South is especially lovely and displays a flair for ventriloquism that belies the character's contrived mistakes during the routine.  Bernard D. Jones brings to Miss Bible Belt's "Bankin' on Jesus" a fiery commitment and toe-tappin' tambourinin' jangle that makes it the best musical number in the piece.  And Nick Morrett brings an oversized sincerity to his "commercial" for the "Largesse" perfume for plus-sized ladies that was down-right dignified.  The cast was filled out by Brian Clowdus as Miss Texas, Ben Isabel as a painfully skinny Miss West Coast (and, I confess to laughing at his skimpy two-piece in the bathing suit segment), Dustin Lewis is an attractively awkward Miss Great Plains, and, Geoffrey Brown, a last-minute replacement for the oleaginous emcee Frankie Cavalier, was all oil and smarm (but, unfortunately, too many missed notes, which, to be fair, should disappear as the production continues),

 

I also have to confess a fondness for the various "Glamoresse" commercial spots, featuring every bad make-up idea that could ever be conceived.  Unfortunately, the first of them was the most outrageous, and it made those that followed a tad anti-climactic (pun intended).

 

So, this is a show that could find an audience - it does have laughs and pleasures that can't be denied.  The audience also has a good time at intermission trying to match-up head shots with their on-stage counterparts. 

 

And, at one point, I thought it would be fun at the end of the run to tally up how many times each character wins the pageant.  But, then it occurred to me that, since the writer of this piece doesn't especially care who wins, there's no reason for us to either.

If You Knew The Suzi's like Brad Knows The Suzi's...
 

If I Picked the Suzi's

 

We all do it.  Award seasons come and go, and we all second-guess the nominees and winners, coming up with outrageous excuses for why our favorites were ignored, and why all those wretched experiences we hated get (shudder) honored.  We do it because we are the most important people in the world, and our opinion is worthy of documentation, even as we acknowledge that we bring different histories into our play-going experience, so our responses will be necessarily diverse.

 

Which brings me to the reason for this article.  Basically, I'm writing this because I have a blank page to fill, an ego the size of the Metro Area, and a hope that you'll care about what I think about the upcoming Suzi nominations.  I also have a lazy streak a mile wide, so if some of this gives you a sense of d�j� vu, it's because a lot of it is cut-n-pasted from similar pieces I've done before.

 

BEST PLAYS AND MUSICALS

 

So, what did I like best this past season?  Truthfully, Atlanta had a great Year at the Theatre.  My average scores hover in the upper 3's, and I've tossed out more fives than an ace Cribbage shark.  Once I eliminate Fox tours, Community Theatres, and One-Weekend "Snooze & Lose" runs, the standout musicals for me were "Kiss me Kate" (Aurora), "Amahl and the Night Visitors" (Theatrical Outfit), "Black Pearl Sings" (Horizon), "A Catered Affair" (Aurora) and "Shrew, the Musical" (Georgia Shakespeare).  As to the Alliance's Broadway-bound "Come Fly with Me," I did like it, but it just misses my list due to its pale comparison to Twyla Tharp's earlier "Movin' Out."  Of course, watch for it in the Choreography and Sound categories.  I do have to confess to not seeing any of the Lyric Theatre's offerings, despite their residence in the closer-to-home Marietta Strand.  My only excuse is that I'm cheap and I've yet to negotiate press credentials.  I began ushering with their recent "Hairspray," so expect to hear more from them on my next-year recap.

 

There was a boatload of non-musical offerings I thought excelled this year.  Just to keep this short, here are my list of favorites:  "Third" (Horizon), "Fair Use" (Actors Express), "Around the World in 80 Days" (Theatrical Outfit), "Tranced" (Aurora), "Shooting Star" (Horizon), "Looking Glass Alice" (Alliance), "The Taming of the Shrew" (Shakespeare Tavern), "The Storytelling Ability of a Boy" (Aurora), and "King Lear" (Georgia Shakespeare).   I'd be happy if any of these shows found their way into the nomination lists.  Of course, the best non-musical of the season had to be the tour of "Alfred Hitchcock's 'The 39 Steps,'" but, since that's not Suzi-eligible, we'll have to wait for all the local productions which seem to have popped on next season's calendars.

 

BEST PERFORMANCES

 

Again, this year saw an embarrassment of riches with fine work from our home (and visiting) acting community.  This list barely scratches the surface, but, for my money, the best work of the year was turned in by (in no particular order) J.C. Long and Natasha Drena ("Kiss me Kate"), William S. Murphey ("Around the World in Eighty Days"). Drew Reeves and Laura Cole ("Richard III), Anthony Rodrigues ("A Christmas Carol"), Sarah Turner ("Grey Gardens"),  Naima Carter Russell ("Tranced"), Demosthenes Chrysan and Bhavesh Patel ("Tennis in Nablus"), Jim Hammond and Leigh Campbell-Taylor ("Shooting Star"), Peter Thomasson and E. Roger Mitchell ("Sunset Limited"), Paul Hester ("Ethan Frome"), Carolyn Cook and Doyle Reynolds ("100 Saints You Should Know"), Minka Wiltz ("Black Pearl Sings"), J.C. Long and Maureen Yasko ("The Taming of the Shrew"), Bethany Anne Lind Mendenhall and Nick Arapaglou and Suehyla El-Attar ("The Storytelling Ability of a Boy"), Lala Cochran ("True Love Lies"), Jacob York ("reasons to be pretty"), Park Krausen and Joe Knezevich ("Shrew, the Musical"), and Tim McDonough ("King Lear").  Notice these run the gamut from leads to supporting performances, and from musicals to non-musicals, so there may actually be room on the nomination lists for, um, some of them.

 

As far as ensemble work goes, I was impressed by how well the casts of ""Around the World in 80 Days," "Tennis in Nablus," "Brownie Points," "Woman + War," "A Catered Affair," "Looking-Glass Alice," "Storytelling Ability of a Boy," "reasons to be pretty," "Taming of the Shrew,""Shrew, the Musical," "Jitney," and "King Lear" worked together.  These casts all made each other shine, all created credible "communities" that told their stories with style and elegance.

 

BEST DESIGNS

 

Like last year, I may be better disposed to comment on the actual nominations than to try to make any predictions.  I tended to prefer designs that were minimalist and imaginative (the entire Essential Season, the small-tweaks-make-a-big-difference approach of the Shakespeare Tavern, the small-scale big-effect styles of Theatrical Outfit and Theatre on the Square).  That being said, I did love how Georgia Shakespeare was able to create large-scale sets that could be quickly struck and re-mounted for its repertory work.  I also tended to NOT like big and fast lighting designs that showed off the full-computer resources of some of the bigger houses - too often, the fast changes and non-stop motion called attention to the lights and away from the actors and play.  For me, simple stuff done with a wide palette and a clever combination of angles trumps razzle dazzle (again, stuff at Theatrical Outfit, Horizon, and the Tavern).  Soundwise, I do have to credit the "live" work done at the Tavern and the expert melding of Sinatra voice tracks with live musicians for the Alliance's "Come Fly With Me."

 

I have my peeves about awards in general - overgeneralization of categories, splitting into male/female awards (as if actresses and actors can't compete on "the same playing field" or have different skill sets), and disconnects between how different theatres define their seasons.  But, when all is said and done, winning one is an emotional rush better than anything chemically induced, and awarding one is almost as much fun.

 

And, of course, second-guessing the judges (or pre-guessing them in this case) is more fun than can be had staring at a blank page.

 

I'll have much more to say about these when the nominations are announced on September 13th.  They will be awarded on November 11th..  I'll see you there (wherever it may be)!
